So morning chores are part of our new routine.

No one is thrilled, accept maybe dad. He LOVES coming home to a clean house, and this has alleviated the need for many Scrubbing Saturdays; and hence his need to participate in the cleaning.

But as for the rest of us, the kids get frustrated with having to "work ALL the time" and I get frustrated having to repeat myself.

Exactly how many ways can u show/teach proper cleaning of a toilet before it sinks in?

So I introduced my children to blogging. They love it!!! I just found katrina in my office "blogging." Notice the monitor behind her? She moved the keyboard to some where more "comfortable." Silly children!

I LOVE Mountain Dew.
I love the taste.
I love the sugar rush.
I love the caffeine pick me up.

Sadly, my body does not love Mt. Dew.
My body doesn't love a lot of things I LOVE...
ice cream, carbonation, chocolate, hot chocolate, potato chips...

The list is long. 

As I have gotten older,
(did I just say that?)
I have learned my body (ie: stomach) just isn't the same,
but despite this knowledge, I still don't change,
and I suffer the consequences.

So today, once again, I have quit caffeine.

But of course, not cold turkey!!! 
That would be CRAZY!!!

So this morning I had a (1) can of Mt. Dew,
a measly 12 oz's,
and this afternoon I am dragging. 

The 8 cans left in the garage fridge are calling to me.
But I will hold strong.
I will respect my body,
(not to mention, avoid a night of heart burn and other issues)

So why?

Why is this the 3rd time in 18 months I have done this?

Alas, I am an addict.
I will finally cleanse myself of the EVIL that is carbonation,
and then one drink,
one moment of weakness,
"just one won't hurt"
and I am back here,
Starting all over...



Big cleaning day- I bet u can't guess how much they LOVE Monday mornings!
